(SUN VALLEY, CA) -- Shot across three continents from the Caribbean to the Indian Ocean, Private U.S.A. Will release the first part of Private's latest mega-production, Millionaire, on Sept. 27.

Millionaire is a feature that follows the quest of Claudia Ferrari and Lenny Power on the trail of a hidden cache of Nazi gold. The pair tracks down clues in locales from the tropics of America to the frozen hinterlands of Europe and points in between. The second volume will conclude the movie and will be released in December.

The budget for the project, estimated at $1.9 million, keeps with the title and was a massive undertaking by Private. Millionaire's extensive prop list included a 120-foot yacht, World War II-era military vehicles and military uniforms. Director Alessandro del Mar selected top-notch European talent to round out the cast, including Jessica May, Delfinn Delage, Alicia, Stacy Silver, Alexa May, Lucy Lee, Simony Diamond, Sarah Blue and Elen Nevaril.

"It is really a great thrill to do something of this level," Ferrari said. "I couldn't believe it when Alessandro selected me for the role. It was a bit nerve racking at first to have the responsibility of something so important, but it has been really marvelous. I loved every minute of it."

Private will release the first part of Millionaire on a two-disc set. The first disc will feature the movie, shot in widescreen and presented in 5.1 digital surround sound; bonus features will be cast profiles, trailers for other Private Productions and Millionaire 2. The second disc will include a making-of featurette, shooting diaries, extra sex scenes, still galleries and an interview with del Mar.

"The amount of money we spent on this project justifies the title," Private U.S.A. General Manager Ric Williams said. "It's a beautifully-shot piece of art and we've adjusted our release schedule to ensure it's considered for the 2005 AVN Awards. We think Millionaire will be a strong contender."
